This momentous occasion marks a new chapter of cultural renaissance and communal harmony for the ancient city of Ibadan and the broader Oyo State.
The installation of Oba Ladoja, a distinguished statesman, philanthropist, and former Governor of Oyo State, symbolizes the enduring strength of Ibadan’s traditional institution and its pivotal role in fostering unity and progress. Under his wise and visionary leadership, Ibadanland is poised to reclaim its stature as a beacon of innovation, tradition, and resilience, guiding its people toward greater heights of prosperity and cultural preservation.
In a statement issued today, Prince Adelaja Adeoye, President and Group CEO of Fendini Group, praised the seamless process that led to this coronation, attributing its success to the exemplary stewardship of Governor Seyi Makinde. “Oba Ladoja’s ascension to the throne is not merely a coronation but a divine affirmation of leadership rooted in integrity and service.
We must, however, commend Governor Seyi Makinde as the true Kingmaker of our time. His administration has masterfully balanced respect for tradition with bold strides in governance, restoring peace to our revered chieftaincy system while propelling Oyo State to unprecedented economic growth. From infrastructure revolutions to youth empowerment initiatives, Governor Makinde has woven development into the fabric of our traditional institutions, ensuring they thrive as engines of progress rather than relics of the past.”
Prince Adeoye further highlighted the governor’s tangible impacts: “Under Governor Makinde’s visionary leadership, Oyo State has witnessed a surge in investments, job creation, and infrastructural advancements that have revitalized the economy. The agricultural value chains are booming, tech hubs are sprouting, real estate development is changing the face of the State to modern city and our traditional councils now stand as partners in sustainable development. This harmonious blend of modernity and heritage is the hallmark of a true Kingmaker—one who doesn’t just install kings but crowns an entire state’s future.”
Fendini Group reaffirms its commitment to supporting initiatives that align with Governor Makinde’s transformative agenda. As a homegrown enterprise deeply invested in Oyo State’s growth, the Group looks forward to collaborative opportunities in community development, cultural preservation, and economic empowerment.
